Many construction teams undertake the installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets. The process is not troublesome and fast, and the earnings are significant.

You can eliminate this expense item from the overall estimate for landscaping a dacha or private home by deciding to make a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands.

The purpose of the fence on the site is to enclose the territory. At the same time, he has another function - representative.

Previously, the main material for constructing fences was wood - an affordable material, but requiring care and protection from destruction; currently, other building materials compete with it: brick, concrete, polycarbonate, mesh, forging, corrugated board.

In terms of the ratio of the parameters “price-installation-durability-appearance”, the leadership belongs to corrugated sheeting, which has led to its wide distribution among users.

Advantages of corrugated fences

• ease of material and installation;
• strength (stiffness);
• corrosion resistance;
• uniform and very slow fading (like paint on a car);
• aesthetic appeal;
• low maintenance requirements;
• long service life;
• relatively low price.

Few building materials have such a list of advantages. But all these properties are fully revealed only with proper installation. This means you need to know how to make a fence from corrugated board correctly. Within the article, we will talk about the nuances of choosing a material, the specifics of its calculation, the types of frames for a fence, we will describe how to attach corrugated sheeting and much more.

Do-it-yourself corrugated fence -
step by step guide from A to Z

Installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets only involves screwing the sheet to the frame; this is a process consisting of several stages. We will describe each of them in detail in the form of step-by-step instructions.

Stage 1. Scheme of a fence made of corrugated sheets - from sketch to drawing

An arbitrary schematic drawing (sketch) is needed in order to visualize design features fence

There are two types (types) of corrugated fence:

• solid;
• sectional.

It is the type of fence that determines the material consumption and methods of installing structural elements.

The following is applied to the drawing diagram:

• location of the fence on the site. Helps to take into account the features of the site: topography, plantings, buildings, access roads, location of gates, etc.;

• if the area is uneven (hill, lowland), mark the place where there will be differences in elevation. Manufacturers producing quality material profiled sheets are produced with a length divisible by 50 mm. this allows you to achieve visually the same fence height, despite differences in ground heights.

• dimensions: fence height and length of individual straight sections;

• location of the columns (supports);

Note. At sectional fence The width of the section is determined by the width of the sheet. It must be a multiple of 1, 1.5 or 2 sheets.

A detailed diagram simplifies the calculation of the material.

Stage 2. Materials for corrugated fence

Construction will proceed quickly if the materials necessary for manufacturing are prepared in a timely manner.

What materials are needed for a fence made of corrugated sheets:

1. Corrugated sheeting

When choosing a profiled sheet (corrugated sheet), you need to pay attention to the thickness (0.45-0.5 mm +/- 0.06 mm), wave height, absence of a capillary groove, parameters, coating, color and texture.

The profiled sheet has a high windage, this must be taken into account when planning the frame.

Note. The dimensions of the corrugated sheet for the fence differ depending on different manufacturers, this must be taken into account when choosing material. It's also worth knowing that guarantee period The service life for galvanized corrugated sheets is 20-30 years, and with polyester coating - up to 50 years (depending on the thickness of the layer).

2. Support posts (pillars)

Theoretically, any material can be used: wood, stone, metal.

When deciding which poles to use for the fence, keep in mind that the simplest and most affordable option is metal pipes.

The parameters of the racks depend on the expected load. Typically, pipes of 60x40x2 mm or 40x40x2 mm are used. For round pipes diameter - 60-100 mm.

You can use purchased ready-made pipes for the fence (photo) (for any type of soil) or piles (normal soils and loams).

The advantage of ready-made support posts is the presence of a “heel” for installation on a cushion, holes for attaching corrugated sheets and an upper plug that prevents water from entering the post.

3. Transverse joists

For lags (crossbars) it makes sense to use square pipes 40x40x2 mm. or 40x20x2 mm. General recommendation - the width of the joists is equal to half the width support pillar.

It is unacceptable to use wooden logs, because the wood tends to rot in the place where the sheet is attached. This will not only reduce the service life of the fence, but will also prevent the sheet from being reused. Metal corner It is also not suitable for logs; with a thickness of 2 mm, it will not provide adequate resistance to wind load, and manufacturers do not recommend using a thicker one.

Note. A special self-tapping screw for corrugated sheets with a drill is designed for drilling metal with a thickness of no more than 2.5 mm. So the use of a thick-walled profile is fraught with additional drilling efforts.

4. Plate holder (bracket) for corrugated sheeting

Special fasteners (brackets) are used when assembling the fence frame using a non-welding method, using hardware.

5. Plugs for pillars (supports)

Plastic plugs perform protective function so that water does not get inside the pipe.

In practice, the pillar is covered with a special cover or plastic bottle. Not very aesthetically pleasing, but certainly cheap, and good as a temporary solution to the problem.

6. Hardware

Needed for weldless assembly of the fence frame. For this, an M6 bolt or screw (30 and 20 mm) is used. As well as self-tapping screws for attaching corrugated sheets or rivets.

Professionals advise using a self-tapping screw, because... it is equipped with an additional gasket (neoprene rubber), which allows you to press the corrugated sheet tightly without damaging its surface. Its length is 15-35 mm.

Advice. When using rivets, it is recommended to treat the edges of the holes under them with special paint. This will prevent the rapid appearance of rust at the fastening site and the formation of rusty stains on the corrugated sheet, which are very difficult to eliminate.

The paint is used to touch up scratches that may appear during installation of the corrugated sheet, as well as to paint over the cut area on the sheet. The consumption is small, one can is usually enough.

8. Decorative end strip for decorating a fence

A U-shaped strip (fence, cover), which is installed on the upper edge (edge) of the profiled sheet and protects users from possible cuts, and the sheet from rust.

Material prepared for the website www.site

Note. When purchasing, please note that the edges of the plank must be curved (rolled). Otherwise, they will not only scratch the metal during installation, but will lose their shape (the edges will move away from the sheet) during operation.

Additional materials and tools:

• cement, gravel, sand - for installing support pillars or arranging a foundation;

• level, plumb line, welding machine(and consumables), screwdriver, solution containers, formwork boards (if necessary), shovel or drill, primer and anti-corrosion solution for metal, rivet gun (if necessary), rope, safety glasses and gloves, grinder (if necessary, cutting corrugated sheets ).

Stage 3. Calculation of material for a fence made of corrugated sheets

How to determine how much building material is required for production.

1. Calculation of the number of corrugated sheets:

• with a solid fence, the total length of the fence is divided by the useful width of the sheet. Rounding up;

• with sectional If the size of the section (span) is equal to the width of the sheet, the total width of the sheet is used. If you plan to install one and a half or two sheets there, it’s useful.

Note. The sheet can be installed both vertically and horizontally. At horizontal mounting the height of the fence will be equal to 1, 2 or 3 working widths of the sheet. For vertical - determined by the customer.

Advice. When calculating, do not use such a concept as the total area of ​​​​the required corrugated sheet. Make calculations in pieces for a given sheet height.

2. Calculation of the number of posts for a corrugated fence

The number of supports depends on the distance between the corrugated fence posts

• with a continuous fence, the total length of the fence is divided by the estimated distance between the posts (posts). Taking into account the windage of the sheet, it is taken equal to 2,000 - 3,000 mm. It is not advisable to increase the distance, since this will lead to an increase in the thickness of the racks or the number of longitudinal joists.

• with sectional The quantity is determined by the estimated number of sections. When installing posts for mounting fence sections, you need to calculate in advance the distance between the posts so that it corresponds to the total (when installing one sheet per section) or useful (1.5-2 sheets) area of ​​the corrugated sheet.

Note. The calculations take into account that support posts (pillars) must be installed at the corners of the fence, as well as at the location where the gate and/or wicket is installed. The number of intermediate supports is rounded down. And the difference is compensated by the deviation from the specified distance between the posts.

The size of the post is determined by the height of the fence, taking into account that the posts go deep into the soil by 30% of their length. Thus, with a fence height of 2,000, the height of the support post for a fence made of corrugated board should be 2,600-2,700. For intermediate posts, an installation depth of 25% of the total height of the fence is allowed. Then the length of the rack will be 2,500 mm.

3. Calculation of the number of transverse joists

The quantity depends on the method of installing the fence.

• Craftsmen advise using 2 logs for a fence height of up to 2,000 mm. Moreover, their distance from the edges of the corrugated sheet is 300 mm.

• For a fence height of more than 2,000 mm - 3 logs.

Thus, the total length of the log is determined by multiplying the total length of the fence by the number of crossbars.

4. Plate holder

The number of plates is equal to the number of support posts multiplied by the number of rows of joists.

5. Pole plug

The number of plugs is equal to the number of support posts. Plus 2-3 spare ones (useful during the operation of the fence).

6. Hardware

When calculating the self-tapping screws, it is taken into account that the fastening is carried out in two extreme waves and through two in the middle of the profiled sheet into each of the transverse logs. Thus, with two cross joists 6 pieces are required per sheet, with three - 9 pieces. The number of hardware is rounded up in multiples of the packaging (standard packaging - 250 pcs). Because, during the process of tightening the self-tapping screw, defects may occur.

When fastening with rivets, their consumption increases, since they are fastened along the edges and through the wave.

Standard paint packaging: 50, 100, 200, 500, 900 g. The choice depends on the length of the fence. Usually 50 gr. jars are enough.

8. Decorative end strip

The quantity is equal to the length of the fence divided by the working length of the plank. Standard length strips are 2,000 mm, working (including overlap) is 1850-1950 mm.

Stage 4. Installing a corrugated fence with your own hands

Installation technology step by step:

1. Site preparation

Clearing the soil surface of anything that will interfere with the installation of sheets and posts.

2. Construction of the foundation and/or installation of support columns

Note. The destruction of the corrugated sheet begins at the point of contact with the ground surface. Pebbles, dirt, and mechanical damage lead to the appearance of defects at the bottom of the sheet. In addition, the uneven terrain of the site often creates difficulties when installing supports. That is why the foundation for a fence made of corrugated sheets is a mandatory stage in constructing a fence.

Which foundation is better for a corrugated fence?

A soil study usually helps to decide on which foundation to install a corrugated sheet fence in a specific area. But since a fence made of corrugated board is a relatively lightweight structure, an ordinary one will be suitable for it. Its optimal depth is 300-400 mm, and the minimum width of the foundation for a fence made of corrugated sheets is determined by the width of the support post (posts).

We will not dwell in detail on how to pour the foundation. But let us note this nuance: the depth of the pit in the place where the base support posts are installed (at the edges of the fence, corners, at the place where the gates are installed) should be 1/3 of their height + 100-150 mm for installing a cushion under the base of the post. For intermediate posts - 1/4 of the height of the support + the height of the pillow. This will eliminate the influence groundwater and soil freezing on the stand.

Preparing and installing formwork is no different from arranging a strip foundation for a house or gazebo.

First of all, the basic support posts are installed (along the edges of even sections of the fence), a rope is stretched between them and intermediate posts are installed along it. At the location where the support posts are installed, the soil is removed with a drill and a gravel-sand cushion is poured onto which the posts are installed. In this case, metal pipes should be treated with an anti-corrosion solution.

Users note that it is better to concrete the racks at 100-150 mm. This way they remain stable when reinforcing the formwork and filling it with concrete. If you plan to compact the pillars, then the cushion should be made 200-250 mm high and the posts should be hammered into it. This method is more labor-intensive, but less expensive and reliable.

Advice. The use of a level and plumb line when installing racks is mandatory.

More simple option There will be installation of support posts without laying out the foundation. Installation requirements are similar. The depth is equal to 1/3 or 1/4 of the length of the rack, depending on where it is installed, thickness gravel-sand pillow- 100-150 mm, mandatory treatment with an anti-corrosion solution, checking the level and reliable concreting.

Note. In practice, corrugated fence posts are installed with deviations from the given technology. This is justified in stable soils.

Alternative ways to install racks are shown in the diagram.

3. Installation of logs

The corrugated sheeting is fastened to transverse joists. They are mounted on support posts after they are securely concreted. In this case, you cannot rush the work, because... this may cause the stand to deviate from the vertical.

Cross joists can be welded or screwed to the support posts. Craftsmen recommend using a holder plate (bracket) for these purposes. Thus, the plate is screwed to the support post, and the joists to the plate; this makes the project a little longer and more expensive, but the fastening is considered more reliable.

Three ways to attach joists to support posts (photo)

- end-to-end in front of the post. The method is ideal for constructing solid fences;

- behind the pillar using a holder (bracket). Suitable for constructing sectional fences;

- on the side of the pillar. The advantage of this method is that the corrugated sheet can be attached not only to the joist, but also to the support column, which makes the structure more stable. But the duration of work and the consumption of self-tapping screws increases. Suitable for constructing sectional fences.

Note. If the site has a significant slope, the transverse logs are mounted offset, as shown in the photo.

The fully finished frame is coated with anti-corrosion primer and paint.

4. Decorative design of columns

This stage is possible only if a sectional type of corrugated fence is selected. Here, the installed metal support posts can be lined with brick or lined with stone. According to many users, a fence made of corrugated board with brick pillars, looks more beautiful and presentable than with metal stands or even a solid one.

Note. Such decoration of fence supports is thought out at the planning stage. Because Availability brickwork makes adjustments to the distance between the pillars, and hence the number of sheets mounted in the sections.

Of course, you can decide to finish the racks with brick at any stage, but you should be prepared for the fact that the corrugated sheet will have to be cut to length, and this will lead to waste not only of the sheet, but also of paint, cutting tools, time and money.

Users agree that this work should be entrusted to masonry masters, because... It is the bricklaying in this case that will determine the aesthetic properties of the fence. If you decide to do the work yourself, you should know:

• it is advisable to use decorative brick High Quality(chips and efflorescence are unacceptable);

• maintain the same thickness of the masonry seam;

• tie every third row metal mesh(reinforce);

• the void between the masonry and the support pipe is completely filled with concrete mortar;

• make a decorative element at the top of the pillar.

5. Installation of corrugated sheets on the fence

To avoid rust, you need to know how to attach corrugated sheets correctly.

To fasten the corrugated sheets to each other and to the joist, rivets or special screws are used. Installation begins based on the sheet configuration. One of the outer waves of the sheet is a covering wave (left or right depends on the manufacturer’s equipment). The first sheet is mounted in such a way that the covering wave of the next one covers the wave of the previous one, and not vice versa. In order not to encounter a situation where a piece of sheet material fails near the gate, installation should begin with these elements.

Advice. To ensure ventilation, you need to make the distance of the sheet along the ground surface 50-100 mm.

The corrugated sheet must be secured at the edges to each of the transverse joists. One fastener is located in the middle of the sheet. If the fence is being built in a windy region, it is advisable to fasten the hardware through two waves.

How to properly attach a corrugated sheet?

To screw a self-tapping screw into corrugated sheeting, you also need to have certain skills. Namely, to know that the self-tapping screw:

• “jumping off” of the self-tapping screw threatens to damage the front surface of the corrugated sheet.

6. Installation of additional elements

In fact, the installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets ends with the steps described above. However, manufacturers, craftsmen and experienced users It is recommended to cover the upper end of the profiled sheet with a special decorative U-shaped strip (end fence strip).

The overlay will give the fence aesthetic appearance and will prevent damage to users from the sharp edges of the sheet.

The plank is simply placed on the sheet, so when ordering, pay attention to its width.

For corrugated sheets with a wave height of 8 mm, you need a strip 10 mm wide (including rolling) or 8 mm (without rolling).

Please note that the corrugated sheets of most manufacturers are colored only on one side. The unpainted gray side looks towards the house. If you plant trees, shrubs or grapes along the fence, this will hide the unpresentable appearance of the fence.

Stage 5. Cleaning the area after construction of the fence

Cleaning is the logical conclusion of the construction process. Cleaning is necessary in order to avoid injury from scraps of corrugated board, scattered screws and to give the area a well-groomed appearance.

Conclusion

A fence made of corrugated sheets looks great and withstands any temperature changes and all types of atmospheric phenomena. But there are two weak points - windage and poor-quality installation. We hope that the information provided here will allow us to take into account and eliminate both of these shortcomings in a timely manner.

No successful construction is possible without a clear understanding of the goal and vision of the final result, preliminary preparation to work and having basic construction skills. This also applies to the construction of all types of fences, fences and barriers. Mastering such construction techniques and skills is not difficult; you just need a little diligence and patience. And it’s probably worth starting by becoming familiar with the main principles of building fences and the tools necessary for this.

You can plan which fence to build by looking at photos of beautiful fences and designs of some of them. Regardless of the type of materials used, you will always need the ability to draw up a preliminary work plan, determine the main stages of construction, select the right tool, mark the structure on the ground.

Fence projects:

What size is best to make holes for posts?

The depth and diameter of the holes for the posts directly depends on the nature of the soil and the height of the fence. If the height of the planned fence is 2 m and the length of the posts is 3 m, then the optimal depth of the hole is 60-80 cm, then the post is driven tightly into the ground. The work is carried out using a hand or gas drill with an auger larger than the circumference of the post profile. It is advisable to compact the top with fine gravel and sand. If the soil is not very strong, then it is better to make the hole wider and be sure to compact it.

Is it possible to attach logs to poles using bolts rather than welding?

Of course, welding is a more technologically advanced, reliable and aesthetic connection. However, some decide to use bolts due to the inability to perform welding work or the need for subsequent disassembly of the structure. Assembling a structure with bolts is more difficult and takes longer, and as a result there is a loss of quality and strength; in addition, deformation of the fence elements is possible during assembly and disassembly activities. Therefore, it is better to weld metal logs to the posts, and install a gate or gate in place of the supposed removable and collapsible part of the fence. After welding work, it is necessary to beat off the slag and touch up the weld areas so that the seams do not rust over time. At the same time, it is better to fasten corrugated sheeting with self-tapping screws rather than weld it to the joists. Since during welding a part will burn protective coating, which will subsequently lead to corrosion of the corrugated sheet. Self-tapping screws will secure the sheet well to the frame and provide the necessary rigidity of the connection.

How many crossbars should there be and at what distance should they be located from the bottom and top of a corrugated fence?

If the height of the fence is no more than 2 meters, then two logs are enough. If it exceeds or you want more reliable design, then another cross member should be added in the center. The distance from the top and bottom edges of the corrugated sheet to the crossbars varies in the region of 20-40 cm.

How to beautifully make a turning corner on a fence?

Connect the two sides of the fence end-to-end on the post, and use a profile strip as decoration external corner. Or bend the corrugated sheet on the post, and continue the other side of the fence with the second sheet overlay.

How and from what to make plugs for metal poles?

Most often they are cut from a metal strip or sheet. You can try to purchase ready-made plastic ones at construction market or in the store.

Where to start installing corrugated sheets?

This is the final stage of building a fence from corrugated sheets, where it is important to do everything correctly: you need to start installing corrugated sheets from the gates and gates, moving in opposite directions. If you sew it up from the corner, then the cut from the profiled sheet will end up in the most visible place - the gate with a wicket. If you have to use narrow strips of corrugated sheets in the area of ​​the fence corners, it will not look so noticeable.

Anyone, including Vacation home should be comfortable and well protected from prying eyes and animal invasion. Every owner, after purchasing a plot of land, first of all thinks about how it will be in the country and what type of property it will be. The choice of materials today is large, so there are many options. It is unlikely that anyone will start building a concrete or brick fence at their dacha. But those days when country property owners were content with a stingy fencing in the form of a nondescript picket fence are long gone.

Today, aesthetics and practicality are in demand more than ever.

Construction of a country fence from corrugated sheets

This fence can be described as follows: set it and forget it. Such a durable and high-quality material as corrugated board makes this possible. Therefore, fences made from it are actually the most popular. It is important not to make a mistake in choosing the color of the material, as it should be harmoniously combined with the design of the entire site and, first of all, the house. There are few types of corrugated sheeting, and they all differ in the depth and width of the wave and the thickness of the sheet, which can be 0.5 and 0.4 mm. Otherwise, all the characteristics of these modifications are the same. But products with a thickness of 0.4 mm are less resistant to mechanical stress, and it is much easier to put a dent on them. Therefore, you need to think about which one is right for you.

• advantages of corrugated fences:

1. Durability. The service life of this material ranges from 10 to 25 years. Some manufacturers confirm this with a warranty card. For example, a brand such as Grand Line. Corrugated sheeting is much more practical than mesh, as it has a coating that prevents the development of corrosion.
2. Aesthetics. It has modern look, attractive design. The color coating can be either single or double sided. Corrugated sheeting is an easy-to-clean material, so the fence retains its original appearance for decades. A variety of colors allows you to choose the most suitable one for specific conditions.
3. Provides complete isolation from external irritants.
4. Such a fence at the dacha is not blown through, is not transparent, and has excellent sound-reflecting properties.
5. An important factor in choosing corrugated sheeting as a fencing for your site is that it has a relatively low cost. It is not more expensive than wood, but much stronger and more durable.

• components for corrugated fences:

1. In addition to the sheet itself, you will need pillars. They come in square and round section. In the factory version, they are 3-meter long, hollow, and have a plug on top that prevents water and moisture from entering the pole. The optimal cross-section of the pillars is 60*60 mm. If they are round, then the diameter is also 60 mm.
2. Lags. They are crossbars that are attached to posts. In the factory version it is a rectangular 3-meter profile with a 20/40 section. It is on this that the corrugated sheet is laid.
3. Self-tapping screws with a coating of the same color as the corrugated sheet itself are used as fastening elements. They are also colorless, intended for galvanized sheets. To avoid corrosion, it is recommended to buy special self-tapping screws with a sealed gasket.

We install a fence from corrugated sheets

1. In order to do this, the first thing you should do is mark the territory. It is carried out using pegs and a cord, a simple or laser tape measure. The location of the main and intermediate pillars is marked by installing stakes. The marking step is usually calculated based on the length of the corrugated sheet. It is important that they join each other exactly in the middle of the main pillars. One intermediate pillar will be sufficient for one span. In some cases, if you plan to lay the crossbars in two tiers, you can do without them.
2. We continue at the dacha. Now you need to install the pillars. To do this, we need to decide how high our fence will be. If the width of the sheet is not enough for the desired result, the corrugated sheet can be raised above the ground. But the pillars themselves must correspond to the selected height. The depth of their planting depends on the condition of the soil. IN clay soils it can be from 60 to 90 cm. In sandy ones - 1 m or more. Depressions in the ground can be made using a hand, electric or gas drill, as well as using a shovel. The holes need to be leveled in depth by adding sand and soil. After installing the pillars top part the pits are filled with cement at the rate of 1/3, where one part is sand and three is cement. During installation of the pillars, their verticality is constantly monitored. A building level is used for this.
3. The cross beams are installed using welding.
4. To increase the durability of the metal frame, a special primer is used, and then the frame is coated with anti-corrosion paint.
5. After the main structure is erected, sheets of corrugated sheets are attached to it. It is recommended to screw in self-tapping screws using a special screwdriver designed for working with metal.

It is highly advisable to purchase new posts and joists rather than use those that have already been used. It is recommended to buy sheets with a thickness of 0.5 mm, since those that are thinner do not guarantee the quality and durability of the fence. A fence made of corrugated sheets can also be placed on brick pillars, but in this case it will be necessary to install a single monolithic base along the entire perimeter of the site. The frame can also be combined. It is not recommended to purchase material with a dark interior color, as it visually reduces the area of ​​the site. But which color is preferable is, of course, chosen by the owner himself. The sheets must be mounted so that the direction of the corrugated surface is vertical.

Construction of a mesh fence at the dacha

It is much easier to build this fence than a corrugated fence. The undeniable, and perhaps the only advantage of such country fences is that they allow maximum light to pass through. The construction of such a fence requires the installation of racks and struts, which are best chosen from metal pipes. Since mesh fences do not require powerful posts, it is recommended to choose pipes of small diameter. But they need to be buried thoroughly in the ground. It is necessary to fill the hole with concrete with reinforcement. All pipes must have plugs that will prevent water and debris from entering them.

To build a reliable, durable fence at your dacha, you should choose a mesh with a medium-sized mesh. A large cell will allow rodents and debris to penetrate through the fence. Each corner post reinforced by struts. After the concrete has been poured and hardened, three rows of wire are pulled between the pillars so that it passes through the mesh cells at equal intervals. To attach it to the racks, iron bolts or rods are used, which must be threaded through a couple of cells. Using a wire tensioner, we align and tension the mesh. Such a fence at the dacha can be painted, but this is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming task.

Construction of a fence at the dacha from gabions

IN Lately An innovation such as gabions is becoming increasingly popular. They are folding rectangular or square structures made of steel mesh. The height of the gabion is 0.5 m, the length can vary from 1 to 4 meters, the width - from 0.5 to 1 m. What size container for stones to choose is decided based on individual characteristics plot. The mesh is assembled into a shape using wire, which is passed and tightened through the cells located along the edge. Gabions are filled with stone, and they look simply magnificent and impressive. Putting up such a fence means providing yourself with reliable protection and a stylish, modern look for your property.

This fence is durable, economical, and easy to construct. It is also necessary to note such an aspect of gabions as environmental friendliness. They're filled natural materials and do not require maintenance. You can place some soil among the stones and plant rock plants in it. Such a fence allows water to pass through perfectly, which allows you not to arrange drainage systems. This fence traps dust and reliably protects the area from prying eyes and various types of noise. Having once spent the effort on erecting such a fence, you can not worry about the quality of the fence of your dacha, its repair or replacement for many years.

To build a fence from gabions, you will need much more space than for a fence that is familiar to everyone. But there are also several undeniable advantages: such a fence does not need a foundation, since the fence made of stones is installed directly on the ground. But you will need to install galvanized steel poles with some spacing, which will serve as support for vertically directed stone walls. The pillars are installed in holes and must be concreted. Myself metal carcass gabions are mounted in such a way that the pillars are inside the structure. Next, the entire cavity is filled with stones. The meshes are connected to each other using staples and wire.

When erecting a fence, owners of dachas and private houses will have to take into account the provisions of the joint venture regarding:

• transparency of the fence;
• fire safety standards;
• sanitary rules.

The height of the fence between neighboring areas is not established by the Code of Rules (in SNiP this issue was regulated). With regard to the transparency of enclosing structures, the norms of SP 53.13330.2011 are advisory in nature. Therefore, by agreement between neighbors, these fence parameters can be changed in accordance with your own preferences. Regarding fire protection and sanitary standards- these are stringent requirements that affect safety. Here, deviation from the rules is not allowed.

Another important nuance. Although most of the provisions of the joint venture are recommendations, on their basis development projects are drawn up and charters of gardening and dacha partnerships are written. And the requirements of these documents are already mandatory. So if a fence is being built between plots in SNT, then you will also need to take into account the clauses of the charter of your partnership.

In addition, the local administration, relying on the joint venture, can formulate own requirements to the fences. These formulations are also taken into account.

How to start building a fence correctly

If you think that work on installing a fence begins with marking the area for the posts, you are mistaken. You can’t just install a fence between neighbors in a country house or around a private house. You must first obtain the appropriate permission.

We tell you step by step how to do this:

1. Coordinate the boundaries of the site with the owners of neighboring plots.

   To do this, first study the plans - cadastral and boundary plans - in order to determine the delimitation of the plots. Then you sign an act of approval of boundary boundaries with your neighbors. If a dispute arises about whose territory is, involve a surveyor in the matter. He will inspect, measure and plan everything in accordance with the land plot documentation.

2. Decide on the fencing parameters.

   Agree on the transparency and height of the fence if they differ from those established by the Code of Practice and the local administration. Sign the corresponding act or agreement with the owners of adjacent plots.

3. You receive official permission.

   Go to the architecture department of the local administration. Take with you:

   • land documents;
   • cadastral and boundary plans;
   • act of approval of boundary boundaries;
   • agreement or act of approval of fencing parameters.

   There you write a statement addressed to the head of the administration. After reviewing the documents, you receive permission. Please note that this may take up to a month.

Is it possible to do without all these steps? Theoretically, yes, but since it is illegal, expect problems:

• Neighbors can start trial, if they do not agree with the boundaries of the plots, with the height of the fence or its continuous covering. They have a high chance of winning a lawsuit.
• A fence erected without a formalized permit will be considered unauthorized. Therefore, they will force you to demolish it and issue you a fine of 3–5 minimum wages (in 2018, the fine ranged from 28.5 to 47.5 thousand rubles).

What fence height is acceptable between neighbors?

Previously, SNiP No. 30-02-97 recommended the height of the fence between adjacent plots of no more than 1.5 m. Now the Code of Rules 53.13330.2011 is in force, and this parameter is not regulated in it. Therefore, everything depends on your agreements with the owners of adjacent plots. Be sure to put the agreements reached in writing to avoid problems in the future.

Requirements for transparency of fencing between sections

Clause 6.2 of the Code of Rules recommends installing garden and summer cottages mesh fencing. However, if there is a written agreement between neighbors, the construction of a blind fence of any type is allowed - from corrugated sheets, euro-fence, stone, brick, etc.

A deed or agreement between the owners of neighboring plots will need to be endorsed by the board of your partnership.

Fire protection when installing fences

It should be said right away that SP 53.13330.2011 does not contain standards regulating fire safety distances within the boundaries of one land plot. All fire service requirements relate to the distance of buildings and structures between neighboring areas. The minimum distances depend on the degree of flammability of the materials used during construction:

• for non-combustible materials (stone, concrete, brick, metal) - from 6 m;
• in the presence of wooden floors with protective impregnation - from 8 m;
• for wood and frame structures made of any materials - at least 10 m.

These codes are designed to protect people and structures in the event of an emergency. Therefore, their compliance must be treated with maximum attention.

Sanitary rules to consider when building a fence

Sanitary standards are also mandatory because they protect people and pets from possible infections and poisonings. Therefore, the joint venture provides minimum distances between the boundary boundaries of the plots (that is, actually fences) and all kinds of buildings.

A fence between neighbors must be built at a distance of at least:

• 3 m - from residential buildings;
• 4 m - from buildings for keeping livestock;
• 1 m - from the bush.
• 2 m - from medium-sized trees;
• 4 m - from tall trees;

Please note: if a garage or other buildings are adjacent to residential building, then the distance to the border of an adjacent plot is measured separately for each object of such a complex. For example, if a poultry barn is adjacent to the house, then you need to retreat at least 3 m from the house, and at least 4 m from the outbuildings. Therefore, when installing a fence, immediately take into account the larger of the permissible distances.

Corrugated fence - optimal solution to protect the territory of a country house or cottage from prying eyes and unauthorized visits. Fences made of this material last at least 30 years. The metal profile is extremely easy to process, and the simple installation method allows you to install a fence around the house or summer cottage quickly and with your own hands, without involving additional labor. Possessing high performance characteristics and durability measured over decades, the metal profile also performs a decorative function, with the help of which you can refine private territory, making it not only inaccessible to prying eyes, but also homely.

Construction of a metal profile fence: pros and cons

A distinctive feature of metal profiles (profiled sheets, corrugated sheets) is versatility. In addition to arrangement roofing slabs and construction of temporary utility structures (hangars, sheds, garages, etc.) this material received wide application in the construction of fences and enclosures for various purposes.

The metal profile is made from cold-rolled sheet steel, which is special technology covered with a layer of zinc and a protective polymer film of various colors. The thickness of the profiled sheet is 0.4–1.2 cm. At the final stage of production, the sheet, laid in rolls, receives a certain profile (trapezoid or wave) using roll forming equipment (manual or automatic).

Good to know: The steel base and stiffening ribs provide increased resistance of the material to deformation and force, and galvanization and polymer coating reliably protect the corrugated sheet from rust and mechanical wear.

For the construction of fences, profiled wall sheets with a profile height of 8 to 44 mm are used. The final cost of the material is influenced by such parameters as:

• thickness of the steel base;
• availability and quality of galvanization;
• quality of polymer coating;
• profile shape and height.

Advantages of metal profiles

The main advantages of using corrugated sheets in the construction of fences and fences include:

1. High performance characteristics.
2. Low specific gravity.
3. Ease of processing and installation.
4. Durability and resistance to aggressive operating factors.
5. Relatively low cost of material.

The corrugated sheet is well protected from rust, deformation, damage and climatic factors. The material is produced in a wide range of sizes, which allows it to be used for the construction of fences of any height and length.

Good to know: The lightness of the profiled sheet, as well as its mechanical rigidity, greatly simplifies the installation process. In addition, when building a fence from this material, the strength requirements are reduced. load-bearing frame.

Disadvantages of wall corrugated sheets

The disadvantages of metal profiles used in the construction of fences and enclosures include:

1. Low level of sound insulation (a corrugated fence cannot protect internal territory from noise coming from the street).
2. Low resistance to destructive influences (a fence made of such material can easily be broken through, say, by a heavy car, or a hole can be cut in it using a special tool for subsequent penetration into the fenced area).
3. Low presentability (corrugated sheeting is significantly inferior in external attractiveness traditional materials used in the construction of fences (wooden and plastic picket fences, metal, brick or stone).

Good to know: Despite obvious shortcomings, the corrugated sheet has no equal in terms of efficiency and has absolute fire resistance. The material is available in a wide range of colors and a wide range of profile shapes and sizes, which allows you to satisfy almost any aesthetic needs of the buyer.

Fence design and preparation for construction

It is necessary to carefully prepare for the construction of a metal profile fence. Errors during the design and installation process are unacceptable, since they entail unplanned costs of time, nerves and money.

So that the construction of the fence is carried out quickly and does not take away unjustifiably a large number of forces and resources for preparatory stage construction it is necessary:

1. Decide on the type and required characteristics of the metal profile.
2. Develop a construction project.
3. Calculate the required amount of materials.
4. Prepare a set of tools and auxiliary materials necessary for construction.
5. Carry out precise marking of the fenced area for construction, taking into account the location of gates, entrance gates, terrain slope, etc.

It is important to remember: After purchasing and delivering the main material to the construction site, it must be carefully stacked and covered to protect it from premature wear and climatic factors before construction. installation work. The location of the stacks should not interfere with the passage, passage or placement of other building materials, elements building structures, transport, etc.

Which corrugated sheet should I choose?

If the decision to build a fence from a metal profile has been made, all that remains is to choose a material that is suitable in terms of cost and quality. To do this, it is necessary to determine the requirements regarding its protective characteristics, as well as the reliability, durability and resistance of the future fence to wear and damage.

But first it won’t hurt to pre-install:

• conditional life of the fence;
• priority on aesthetics appearance or operational reliability;
• design features of the fence and the possibility of replacing its individual elements during operation.

The list of key factors determining the choice of profiled sheet for fence construction includes:

1. Brand of material.
2. Steel thickness.
3. The quality of galvanization of the steel base of the corrugated sheet.
4. Type of polymer coating.
5. Sheet sizes and profile parameters
6. Price-quality ratio.
7. Durability and wear resistance.
8. Aesthetic preferences of the owner of the fenced area.

Profiled sheet marking

The metal profile has a special marking, which determines its main characteristics and purpose. So, for the construction of a fence, grade C (wall) or NS (universal) material is suitable. The numbers in the marking of the profiled sheet mean:

• profile height in mm;
• usable sheet width;
• thickness of the steel base.

It is important to remember: The thicker the steel base and the higher the zinc content in the protective layer, the more resistant to corrosion and deformation the corrugated sheet is. However, nowadays galvanizing technology is used less and less in the production of materials. A much more reliable protection against corrosion, damage and wear is a special polymer coating, which, moreover, can be given a color and even texture that matches the purpose of the metal profile.

Polymer coating and price/quality ratio

The polymer can be applied on one or both sides of the sheet, which significantly affects the overall cost of the material. In addition, the price of the metal profile is determined by the type of this polymer coating:

1. Polyester (PE) - film thickness is about 25 microns. The coating is used to protect the inner surface of the material. The film has low resistance to mechanical damage and ultraviolet radiation, which is compensated by the low cost of the profiled sheet.
2. Matte polyester (PEM) is a 35 micron thick coating that is characterized by its lack of shine and resistance to direct sunlight.
3. Pural - protective film about 50 microns thick. It is characterized by elasticity, a high degree of anti-corrosion protection and excellent color quality.
4. Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF, PVDF, PVF2) is a coating with high strength and elasticity. Meets increased operational requirements, having excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation, as well as rust and mechanical damage.
5. Plastisol (PVC200) is a universal film with a thickness of 200 microns, designed to protect surfaces of any type. It has high decorative qualities and elasticity, providing reliable protection steel from corrosion.

Important to know: The dependence of price on the type of polymer coating, which largely determines the durability and wear resistance of the material, is obvious. The greatest demand in the construction of fences and barriers is metal profiles coated with matte polyester, which has an optimal price/quality ratio. Material coated with pural is also popular, since the latter provides not only high aesthetic performance of the corrugated sheet, but also increases the service life of the fence.

Profiled sheet parameters

The strength of wall corrugated sheeting depends not so much on the thickness of the steel base (0.1 cm is enough for building a fence), but on the size, shape and thickness of the ribs (waves) of the profile. Therefore, when purchasing, the main attention should be paid to the height of the latter. For the construction of a fence in an area with normal wind loads, a material with an edge whose height does not exceed 21 mm is suitable. Concerning required sizes sheet and amount of material, they are determined based on the required height of the fence, as well as its perimeter. It should be taken into account that the corrugated sheet will be mounted with an overlap.

For the construction of fences and enclosures, four grades of wall corrugated sheeting are used. Their design parameters are given in the table:

Good to know: Wall corrugated sheets are produced in sheets 12 m long, but before sale they are cut into pieces 2–3 m long that are more convenient for transportation and installation.

Correct fence design and calculation of materials, diagram

Before you go to hardware store for materials, you should correctly calculate their quantity, as well as determine the scope of work on the manufacture of the main elements of the fence structure. This can only be done if there is a detailed project. The latter is easy to develop independently, without involving expensive specialists.

The first and main thing that is necessary for design is the value of the perimeter of the fenced area. If it is not indicated in the cadastral plan, you will have to measure it yourself. For this you will need:

• hammer marks (metal or wooden pegs) into the ground at the corners of the site, as well as at points where the fence changes direction;

• tie the tags with nylon or linen cord;

• calculate the length of the cord between the marks, which will correspond to the perimeter of the area.

The next step is to determine the location and required dimensions of the entrance gates and wickets. It is necessary to place marks on the sides of the latter, measure the distance between them and subtract the resulting value from the total perimeter.

Calculation of the number and sizes of sections

1. For example, let’s assume that the plot has a rectangular shape with sides of 20 and 15 m. Let’s take the width of the gate equal to 2.5 m, and set the value for the gate to 1.5 m. In this case, the length of the fence will be equal to: L=(20+15) *2 - (2.5+1.5)=66 m.
2. The standard length of the profiled sheet is 12 m, so for ease of transportation and installation it will have to be divided into segments. Therefore, at this stage it is necessary to calculate how many segments will fit in one section along the length.
3. We will establish that the gate will be located next to the gate on the 20-meter side of the perimeter. In this case, the length of the fence in this area will be equal to: l=20–4=16 m. Thus, we take the number of sections equal to 3 meters: 2 sections will have a 5-meter length, and the size of the remaining one will be 6 m.
4. If we take the length of the sections on the opposite side of the perimeter to be 5 m, their number here will be 4.
5. It remains to calculate the number of sections on 15-meter segments of the perimeter. The calculation is carried out in a similar way: we take the length of the section to be 5 m. This means that the width of the rectangle will result in only 6 sections - 3 on each side.
6. Let's do the math total sections: n=2+4+6+1=12+1. Thus, the fence will have 12 sections 5 m long and one 6 meter section adjacent to the gate.

Calculation of supports

Having the number of sections, we calculate the required number of supports using the formula:

It follows from this that to install the fence you will need: K=13+1=14 supports.

Important to know: It is convenient to use a profile pipe of square (50*50 mm) or round (d=50 mm) cross-section as support posts for a fence made of corrugated sheets. It should be noted that the length of the supports is a composite value. External part must be longer than a leaf corrugated sheeting by at least 10–15 cm. This is necessary to leave a gap of 5–10 cm high at the bottom and a headroom of about 5 cm in the upper part. So, for a fence 2 m high, the height of the supports will be 210–215 cm. For installation in the ground another 80–120 cm will be required (depending on the type of soil, freezing depth and groundwater level), and if the fence is installed on a strip foundation - 40–50 cm.

If the necessary requirements for the design of the supports are met, their length will be:

L og =200+15+80=295 cm (when installing supports in the ground);

L op =200+15+40=255 cm (when installed on a foundation).

Calculation of corrugated sheets

Using the height of the fence, as well as the number and length of sections, the required dimensions and number of profiled sheets are determined.

The height of the fence is equal to the length of the section of corrugated sheet. If the fence being designed has a height of 2 m, a standard 12-meter sheet will need to be cut into 6 2-meter pieces. If a profiled sheet of grade C21 is chosen for construction, each 5-meter section will require 5 such sheets and the remaining 6-meter section will require another 6 sections 1 m wide.

As a result, the total number of sections of corrugated sheets 2 m long will be:

N=n 5 *5+n 6 *6=12*5+1*6=66 ​​segments

where n 5 and n 6 are the number of 5- and 6-meter fence sections.

It is important to remember: Installation of the corrugated sheet is carried out with an overlap. This means that each sheet will lose a little length during installation. Thus, when calculating the number and size of sheets relative to the length of the section, the value of the joint size multiplied by 2 should be subtracted from the total length of the sheathing.

Calculation of transverse joists

For fences made of corrugated sheets, a metal profile pipe with a cross-section of 40*20 mm and a length corresponding to the dimensions of each section is used as transverse logs. At the same time, to install a fence 2 m high, you will need no more than 2 tiers of crossbars.

This means that the number of logs for the calculated fence will be:

k=k s *2=13*2=26 lag

where k c is the number of fence sections.

Final result

As a result of the research, it was found that to build a fence around the area in question it is necessary:

• 26 crossbars;
• 14 support pillars;
• 66 sheathing sheets, 2 m long.

Next, all that remains is to re-draw the diagram of the site and apply a projection of the fence on it indicating the number and size of sections, the location of gates and gates and other important data. The construction project can be considered ready.

Necessary tools and auxiliary materials

In order to independently make and install a fence from corrugated sheets, you need to prepare the tools in advance, which you cannot do without during the work process.

This list should include:

• bayonet and shovel;
• concrete mixer (if the fence is installed on a foundation or the supports will be installed on concrete);
• earth drill (for installing support pillars in the ground);
• electric scissors;
• metal scissors;
• electric drill with a set of metal drills;
• screwdriver;
• welding machine;
• circular saw with metal discs;
• construction tape;
• measuring cord;
• building level;
• plumb line

In addition to the basic materials of corrugated sheets and profile pipes for the manufacture of supports and transverse joists for the construction of the fence, auxiliary tools will be needed.

The list of the latter contains:

• sand;
• crushed stone;
• cement;
• primer for metal posts and crossbars;
• paint;
• metal screws or other fasteners for mounting the casing.

It is important to remember: When cutting metal, during the construction of a foundation or installing supports in the ground, as well as when installing crossbars and fixing profiled sheets, it is very important to follow safety precautions. This will avoid injury, as well as material damage and tool breakage. When performing work operations, you should use safety glasses, gloves and protective clothing. And most importantly: you need to prepare a free area for work, where nothing will interfere with the manufacture of fence elements, and supply electricity to it to connect power tools.

How to build a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

After marking the territory and preparing materials, it’s time to start construction. The general algorithm of actions is as follows:

• pouring the foundation with installation of vertical supports on it;
• installation of support pillars in the ground;
• installation of transverse joists;
• priming and painting of the metal frame;
• installation of sheathing;
• decorative design of the fence.

Good to know: If the installation of the supporting frame is carried out by welding, the welds must be cleaned. You should also weld appropriately shaped plugs onto the support posts, which will prevent moisture from getting inside the pipe. It is better to make holes in the metal before assembly, although, if there are powerful drill and a high-quality drill, they can be made later. It is advisable to apply primer and paint to the metal frame before installing the sheathing so as not to stain the new profiled sheet.

Laying the foundation for a corrugated fence

If the conditional service life of the fence exceeds 20 years or the nature of the soil or the layout of the site do not allow installation in another way, the fence is installed on a strip reinforced concrete foundation.

The foundation is poured in several stages:

Using a concrete mixer, sand, crushed stone, cement and water are used to make concrete mortar, with which the trench is filled to the required level. During the process, you should periodically check the verticality of the support posts or fix it to the formwork with a lock made from waste boards.

It is important to know: The soil will not take moisture away from the concrete if the bottom of the trench is moistened abundantly before pouring. The finished foundation should be allowed to dry for at least 3 days, after which you can begin installing the transverse joists.

Installation of support pillars in the ground

If the fence is planned to be used for no more than 15–20 years, the fence is temporary, or the soil or layout of the site allows installation without pouring the foundation, the support pillars are installed in the soil.

There are several ways to install supports, the choice of which depends on the nature of the soil, the depth of groundwater and the height of the fence:

• driving;
• partial concreting (combined installation);
• butting (installation on a bed of sand and crushed stone);
• full concreting (with reinforcement);

The algorithm for installing fence supports in the soil looks like this:

1. Plugs are welded at the upper and lower ends of the supports, which will prevent moisture and soil from entering the pipe.
2. The corner supports and pillars along the edges of the gates and gates are installed first. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully monitor compliance vertical level supports
3. The installed corner posts are tied with twine or rope to mark the fence line.
4. The remaining support posts of the fence are mounted along the perimeter in the same way, observing the vertical level and the line set from the corner supports.

Important to know: To enhance bearing capacity concrete or partially concreted supports, the hole can be reinforced using thin (d=10 mm) reinforcement.

Installing fence supports on a sloped area

If land plot has a slope, when pouring the foundation or installing support pillars it is necessary to perform a number of additional actions. In particular, with a slight slope, the soil should be simply leveled.

When installing a fence on a foundation on an area with an average slope, the procedure will be as follows:

When installing supports in the ground on a site with a slope, the depth of the holes is adjusted in the same way: the bottom of the hole of the first support of the next level should be at the level of the middle of the hole of the last support of the previous one.

Important to know: The difference in height levels should be the same along the entire length of the fence.

Installation of supporting frame

After installing the support pillars in the ground or on the foundation, the transverse joists are installed. They can be installed by welding or using special “crab” fasteners.

When installing on "crabs" in the supports and transverse joists, it is necessary to make holes of the appropriate diameter for bolted connections.

Installation of crossbars for welding is carried out by one of three ways: the logs are butt-welded on the sides of the support column, or fixed using a holder (a piece of U-shaped profile of the required dimensions) that is pre-welded to the support.

Good to know: The location of the logs and the distance between them depends on the height of the fence. If the latter is 2 m, you need to subtract 40–50 cm from the upper edge of the support - the upper line of the crossbars will be attached at this level. Further down we retreat 100–120 mm and mark the level of installation of the lower logs. Then the distance from the lower cross member to the ground will be: l=200–40–120=40 cm.

Sheathing with metal profiles and finishing, painting the fence

If the installation of the frame is completed, and plugs are welded on top of the supports, you can proceed to final stage construction of fence cladding. To do this, holes for fastening elements are made in the transverse logs with a pitch equal to the pitch of the profiled sheet. Before starting work, it is important not to forget to calculate the location of the joints of the metal profile; its sheets are attached directly to each other, bypassing the crossbars.

After installing the sheathing, the fence can be decorated with decorative elements. For example, by forging or beading along the upper and/or lower edge of the profiled sheet. You can also additionally protect the screw heads and bolted connections with special plastic plugs.

It is important to remember: When joining sheets with an overlap, installation is carried out on the upper wave of the profile. The corrugated sheet is fixed to the crossbars in the center of the lower wave of the profile.

The construction of a fence from corrugated sheets requires thorough preparation and, most importantly, correctly performed calculations. Then, if you do not make gross mistakes during installation, the work will not take much time and effort. For example, to fence an area with a perimeter of 60–70 m, it will take only 3–4 days, of course, provided that you don’t have to dig a lot to level the soil. The result should be a reliable and durable fence that will serve as excellent protection for the site from prying attention and will greatly complicate unauthorized entry into the fenced area.
